9 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to learn about pregnancy outcomes in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Patients enrolled in the Brittle Bone Disorders (BBD) Contact Registry (CR) will be invited via email to participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to explore the patient perspective of disease burden in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). Participants will complete a web-based survey of questions which are usually administered within the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and provide feedback regarding the appropriateness of the questions for someone with OI.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta-related hearing loss usually occurs in individuals with mild (type I) OI and is much earlier in onset than age-related hearing loss, with the majority of individuals experiencing some minor hearing loss in their 20s. Bisphosphonates have been successfully used to treat otosclerosis, a common cause of hearing loss similar to OI-related hearing loss. As many individuals with OI-related hearing loss also present with otosclerosis and because of their mechanistic similarities, the investigators propose studying the effects of bisphosphonate treatment on individuals diagnosed with both OI type I and hearing loss, thereby determining its effectiveness as a potential treatment for hearing loss. The investigators will enroll 50 individuals diagnosed with type I OI and age 18-100. 25 adults will be enrolled into the treatment arm and receive bisphosphonate treatment (must have at least mild hearing loss), while 25 adults will be enrolled into the control arm. The investigators will enroll 25 children (6-17 years of age) diagnosed with OI who are currently receiving bisphosphonate treatment as part of their care for orthopedic symptoms. The investigators will also observe 25 children (6-17 years of age) diagnosed with OI who are NOT currently receiving bisphosphonate treatment. The study duration is 63 months (approximately 5 years). Enrollment is anticipated to begin in November 2019.
The purpose of this study is to select a suitable dose of BPS804 by measuring the strength/quality of bone using a special type of CT scanner. Participants will be treated for 12 months and followed up for a further 12 months.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare disorder of increased bone fragility characterized by fractures with minimal or absent trauma, dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI), and, in adult years, hearing loss. It is seen in both genders and all races. The clinical features of OI represent a continuum varying from perinatal lethality to individuals with severe skeletal deformities, mobility impairments, and very short stature to nearly asymptomatic individuals with a mild predisposition to fractures, normal stature, and normal lifespan. Fractures can occur in any bone, but are most common in the extremities. These disorders can be devastating and progressive and result in deformity, chronic pain, impaired function and loss of quality of life. The overall goal of this study is to answer specific question about the natural history of brittle bone diseases as defined by molecular etiology and to develop the foundation for prospective clinical studies.
This is a randomized, open label intra-patient dose escalation study to evaluate safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BPS804 in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Pharmacodynamic effect will be determined by serological biomarkers and radiologic assessments. In addition, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of teriparatide (FORTEO), which is human parathyroid hormone 1-34, for increasing bone mass and improving bone structure in adults affected with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
This is an extension study to examine the long-term safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid in patients who have completed the core CZOL446H2202 study.
The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate whether the investigational medication is safe, effective and has the ability to increase spine bone density in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients.
